Fox News reports that one woman, Melowese Richardson, in Cincinnati may have voted six times and she’s one of 19 people being investigated, but don’t worry, she says while admitting the six votes, that she did so without meaning to defraud anyone;

Richardson claimed she had submitted an absentee ballot, but was afraid her vote would not count so she also voted in person. She also said she voted in the name of her granddaughter and yet another person.

“There was absolutely no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud,” she insisted.

So she was worried that her vote wouldn’t count so she made sure that five other people’s votes didn’t count, either. Nice.

“I’ll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States,” Richardson vowed when asked about the voter fraud investigation that is now under way.

So, Obama’s right to be president (looking for that right in the Bill of Rights now) supersedes the right of the rest of us to have a vote. Ok, thanks, Melowese.

What’s needed is a system that (1) conclusively proves identity, and (2) proves eligibility to vote. The latter could easily be done by a properly-designed system in real time after identity is proven.

There are any number of ways (1) could be accomplished. But many of the most easily implemented would likely lead to ACLU objections based on questionable claims of “invasion of privacy”.

I agree, if the voter id card had a scanner with photo included already on it, it wouldn’t be a problem. Yes they do need to system set up to stop this, but as long as the ACLU is out to make matters worst it won’t happen.

I wonder how many relatives she let vote more than once, to make sure their vote counted? This is one precinct, wonder how many times this was repeated, in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan?
Checking her picture, she bears a remarkable resemblance to Maxine Waters D-Stupidity.

@8 I’m a fan of the voting ink too, but as was pointed out to me last time I mentioned it, it’s the absentee college d-bags that do a lot of this kind of thing. They vote where they’re from and also where they go to school.

Harrison: you do realize that you’re justifying blatant fraud by equating it to past misconduct or error committed by others, right? Which logically implies that by justifying the latter you are implicitly accepting both behaviors as being acceptable?

Sheesh – even Sippy and Joe the Rock Climber aren’t usually that blatantly asinine in their comments here.

Is anyone surprised by her statements? I’m not, because she’s not the only one who thinks like that. Most leftists believe that the ends justify the means and they see nothing wrong with electioneering in order to get the person they feel is the one who should hold any elected position. They do it through massive voter registration fraud, intimidation (NBPP in Philly), fighting against voter ID, or just plain multiple votes. Yet, they don’t hesitate to project what they’re doing onto the other party and claim that they are being “disenfranchised”, when it is they, who are willfully engaging in disenfranchising the law abiding voters in this country.

Gotta love the statement “There was absolutely no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud” makes as much sense as if a kid that broke out the windshield of a sports car and were caught joyriding saying “There was absolutely no intent on my part to steal an automobile.”

But the accusations are against B. Hussein Øbama & Party, so that automatically makes it “racist”. If the left is so dedicated to honest elections, then why their repeated assault on Military Absentee Ballots?

If I could, I’d reinstitute both a poll tax and a literacy requirement. Then, I’d require each qualifying voter to answer 10 very basic questions regarding US government. The passing score would be 10 out of 10. Though I like to kid, I am not kidding about this.

It’s bad enough when a moron who thinks a particular person is entitled by right to be president, but when that same moron votes multiple times, it’s an abomination. This stuff gets me so pissed off I need to get a heavy bag. It’s cheaper than repairing drywall all the damn time.

When I was younger, I used to joke that people should vote early, often and twice (the twice part being the joke to clarify for the morally challenged). Now this person, not believing that the candidate she supported could win on his own merit, not only voted for him six times but also covered it up using her position as a poll worker. She admitted to what she did but denies it was voter fraud? It’s the very definition of voter fraud! I say send her to jail (or at the very least fine her) and definitely NEVER let her vote again…clearly she cannot be trusted.

VOV: voting multiple times would be easy as hell if you can get your hands on some absentee ballots, amigo. All you have to do is fill them out and mail them in. Pretty hard to get caught unless you’re stupid enough to mail a bunch in all at the same time so that someone notices the similar handwriting.

It’s not as hypothetically easy, but voting multiple times is also eminently do-able in a major metro area if you (1) know a few folks won’t be voting (e.g., mentally incompetent, hospitalized, simply don’t care, etc . . . ), and (2) can get some info about them. Many jurisdictions don’t require a photo ID. If someone shows up and claims to be “John Doe” at a particular address and knows enough other info, they just check the person off the list of voters and let them vote. While that might be risky in a rural area where people know each other (and the polling officials might know you’re not “John Doe”), that risk becomes quite small in a major metro area with multiple precincts. The limit would be how many early/regular polling stations someone could visit during operating hours.

And yeah – that happens sometimes, too. Except in the following example, the fool was stupid enough to try and do so twice using their own name:

@29. “They control the media and the voting booths.” And the police and the military. They can pass laws of all sorts, too. As a matter of fact, if one leaves out minds, hearts, and many guns, they control damn near everything.

@31. Five will get you 10 the name came from the maternity room menu. Mellow cheese was on it. You know, there’s at least one generation that doesn’t know a time when names weren’t just made up from thin air, a TV commercial, or taken from a singer of Hollywood type who made up their own name.
